YUGIOH
Kaiba: Missing Persons
Chapter 3. The new Battle City Tournament was advertised all over the screen, by one of Kaiba's spokespeople, mentioning the place, the time, and the award money.
Yugi watched it from a TV screen, saying, "Did you hear that, Joey? The next Battle City Tournament!"
"Geez, you'd think Kaiba would give up by now, after being creamed by you enough times", Joey mocked.
"You know.......that's kind of strange. Kaiba normally advertises these things, personally. I wonder why he wasn't on the air?", Yugi said.
"Yeah, really........the loser just loves to show off his ugly face anytime he gets a chance. What a glory hound!", Joey said.
Yugi looked over at Joey for a moment. He knew neither have ever been able to get along, but wished they could. Despite how Kaiba was in the past, Yugi respected him, and even hoped they could be friends, if Kaiba would stop playing the 'lone wolf' all the time.
"So.........you thinking we should join up?", Joey asked. "Maybe I can beat Kaiba this time."
But Yugi looked down, saying, "I don't know. I don't really need the money, and every time I battle Kaiba, he only gets more mad at me when I win. Maybe I shouldn't join this time. Or maybe........well, maybe he'd feel better about himself if, well if I......."
"Wait a minute! Yugi, don't even think for a second that you should throw the game for that loser! He's not worth it!", Joey said. "And besides, if he ever thought for a second that you decided to 'go easy on him', he'd probably hate you even more."
Yugi sighed, "Yeah, I guess you're right. Maybe I just shouldn't join this time."
Just that moment, the phone rang. They both looked at it, then at each other. Joey gave a big grin, saying, "How much you wanna bet that's Kaiba now, calling to tell you that you better be there??"
Yugi looked back at the phone and picked it up, saying, "Hello?"
"Yugi.......it's me, Mokuba!", Mokuba called to Yugi.
Yugi smiled, saying, "Oh, hi Mokuba!"
"Did you see the ad for the new Battle City Tournament, yet? You're coming, right??", Mokuba asked.
"Yeah, I saw it", Yugi said, looking at the TV, then stammered, "Uhhh.........", to the next question, looking up at Joey.
Joey caught the look from Yugi, put on a big goofy grin, and gave Yugi the peace sign, assuming he was right. Joey then called out, "It's him, aint it? I told ya it was him!", hoping that maybe Kaiba jumped on the line, by now.
Yugi waved to Joey to keep it down, as Mokuba said, "Well listen Yugi, do you have time to come over a minute? There's something very important I gotta talk to you about! Please??"
"Something important? Well, all right Mokuba.......we'll be right over", Yugi replied, as Joey was silently waving 'NO' to Yugi, trying to convince his friend to decline the visit.
"Thanks Yugi, I knew I could count on you!", Mokuba said, and hung up.
"What do ya mean we'll be right over?? I don't wanna go to Kaiba's house! Every time we go over there, there's some kind of trouble we get caught up in!", Joey said.
"But it sounded urgent, Joey!", Yugi said. "Mokuba said there's something he had to talk to us about, that was really important. He sounded worried about something. Maybe there's another reason that they started the Battle City Finals........after all, it is about a month earlier than usual."
"Great.......more problems. I wonder what computer Kaiba got his brain sucked into this time??", Joey grumbled.
